Nani Secures Manchester United Win
Filed Under Premiership
In front of 75,00 fans at Old Trafford today, Manchester United returned to the top of the table after a well deserved 3-1 victory over Tottenham. Nani played a major part in securing the victory when he showed the sublime brilliance we all know he is capable of in the 81st minute, when he lifted a superb lofted chip over Gomes to put United up 2-1 with nine minutes remaining.
“I must say the finish was absolutely brilliant,” Sir Alex Ferguson told MUTV. “To have the audacity to try that at the stage of the game tells you about his courage.
Sir Alex went on to add that “Not many players would have tried that, particularly from such a tight angle. It was fantastic - 10 out of 10 for doing it.”
Nani then played a further part in securing the victory for Manchester United when he received the ball on the half way and ran at the tiring Tottenham defence. After weaving into the box, Nani was brought down from behind by Palacios and Ryan Giggs duly converted his second penalty for the night to ensure a 3-1 victory.
Ryan Giggs praised his younger team-mate Nani.
“With ten minutes to go and to be one-on-one with the goalkeeper, to chip it over him like that shows great confidence. But he’s the talent he has throughout the season. We were all pleased to see it go in, and he deserved it.”
I think it is worth noting that Nani came into his own in the second half when Valencia was replaced and Nani played more on the right side of the field. I know I have discussed this before but I really feel that Nani plays his best football on this side of the field and has shown in previous games that his crosses and runs into the box are far more effective from the right.
